CANDELABRUM.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filedJuly 21, 1914. Serial No. 852.228.

To alt whom it may concern:

Be it known that T, JOHN MARKOWSKY, a subject of the Czar of Russia,residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Candelabra, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The general object of this invention is to improve the construction ofthe candelabrum for which Letters Patent No. 593,111 were granted meNovember 2, 1897, so as to render the device more compact, neat, andless expensive to manufacture, and also to accommodate candles and vigillamps, or either of these. And to these ends the invention consists inarranging the rods that hold the arms in their various adjusted positions, near the pivotal connection between the arms and standard,providing an attractive casing for each of the candle holders; andfurther providing socket members adapted to take either a candle or avigillamp, and arranging these sockets on the candle holders so as tofasten the casingsagainst displacement. I

Other objects will appear and be better understood from that embodimentof my invention of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in whichFigure 1, is a side elevation of the candelabrum. Fig. 2, is a verticalsection through one of the candle holders showing the combined vigillamp and candle socket attached thereto. Fig. 3, is a horizontal sectionof the candle holder taken on'the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. i, is aperspective view of the combined vigil lamp and candle socket,

showing the same detached from the candle holder. Fig. 5 is aperspectiveview of the clamping member for the outer cylindrical memberof the candle holder. Fig. 6, is a perspective view of the outercylindrical member showing the same detached from the candle holder.Fig. 7, is a perspective view of the sleeve which embraces the standardof the candelabrum, showing the sam detached from the standard.Referring to the drawings in detail numeral 1, designates the base ofthe candelabrum. Numeral 2 a hollow standard having its lower endsecured to the base and its upper end open for the reception of a rod 3which is adapted for vertical adjustment within the standard and is heldin its various adjusted positions by means of a set screw 4;. The rod 3is provided adjacent its upper end with a transverse slot within whichare pivoted for vertical adjustment, a pair of arms a each of whichcomprises as shown, a pair of parallel bars 66 which are arranged inspaced relation, one above the other, the inner ends of the bars of onearm being pivoted to the adjacent ends of the bars forming the other armby means of pivot pins 77, which enter the opposing walls formed by theslot in the r0 3.

Embracing the rod 3 at a point intermediate its ends and below the arms5, is a sleeve 8 which is secured to the rod by means Patented Feb. S3,1215.

of a set, screw 9. The sleeve 8 has integrally formed thereon and atdiametric opposite points a pair of laterally projecting lugs 10, eachof which receives a rod 15, and a set screw 16 is provided for holdingthe rod in different adjusted positions. The rods 15 have their upperends connected to the arms 5 by means of the link members 13, (so as toeffect the simultaneous adjustment of the arms 6, when the rods 15 aremanipulated). Mounted upon the arms 5 and arranged at chosen intervalsare a plurality of candle holders 17, each of which consists of arectangular member 18 which is provided with a slot 19 for the receptionof the bars 6 of one of the arms a, a hollow cylindrical outer member 20which encircles the said inner member and is spaced therefrom andprovided with a pair of oppositely disposed slots 21, for one of thearms a. The cylindrical member is held in its applied position by meansof a clamping member 22, which is located at the upper end of thecylindrical member and is provided with a concentrically disposed offsetportion 23, which is received by the upper end of the cylindrical memberand has-its outer surface frictionally engaged by the inner surface ofthe walls of the outer member. end of the cylindrical member isremovably received by a cap 24 which is provided concentrically with ascrew 25, which has threaded engagement with the inner member 18 of theholder. 1

The various candle holders are pivoted to the respective arms of thecandelabrum by means of pivot pins 26, which pass through the bars 6 ofthe arms a. This pivotal mounting of the candle holders, permits theholders to assume vertical positions in any The lower phase ofadjustment of the arms a, as illustrated by Fig. 1, in the drawings.Each of the holders has mounted upon its upper end a combined candle andvigil lamp socket 27, consisting of a pair of concentrically disposedsocketmembers integrally formed with each other and arranged insuperimposed relation. The lower of these as shown at 28 has its wallstapered whereby to form a socket for the candle and has its lower endbearing on the offset portion 23 of the clampingmember. A screw 30extends through the bottom of the lower socket and through the offsetportion of the clamping member and enters the upper end of the innermember of the holder, whereby the candle and vigil lamp socket is heldin position and operates to fasten the clamping member againstdisplacement. The uppermost socket 31 is of a larger diameter than thelower 27 and is adapted to receive a vigil lamp 32, as shown in Fig. 1,when it is desired to display on the candelabrum a vigil lamp insteadofa candle or both-of these.

What I claim as new is 2-- 1. In a candelabrum the combination with astandard, and arms pivotally connected to the standard of a sleeveembracing the standard and provided with a pair of lugs having passagestherethrough, members adjustably mounted within the passages of thelugs, means connecting the members to the arms, a means for securing'themembers in their adjusted positions.

Copies; of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, byaddressing the Washington, D. 0.

2. In a candelabrum, the combination with an arm; of a candle holderincluding an inner member connected to the arm, an outer memberencircling the inner member and spaced therefrom, and a means connectingthe said members together at one end and adapted for holding the saidmembers in uniform spaced relation.

3. In a candelabrum, the combination with a standard and an armpivotally connected to the standard; of a candle holder including aninner member pivotally connected to the arm, an outer member encirclingthe inner member and recessed to receive the arm, and means connectingthe said outer and inner members together at one end and adapted to holdthe said members in uniform spaced relation.

4. In a candelabrum, the combination with an arm; of a candle holderincluding an inner member connected to the arm, an outer memberencircling the inner member and spaced therefrom, means supporting thesaid outer member and connected to one end of the inner member, andmeansconnected to the opposite end of the inner member for holding the saidouter and inner members in uniform spaced relation.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
